Author: Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799; Daniel ben Judah Hymnal: Hymns for Youth #14 (1966) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Lyrics: 1. The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love.
To Him uplift your voice,
At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand.
2. He by Himself hath sworn;
I on His oath depend;
I shall, on eagle wings upborne,
To heaven ascend.
I shall behold His face;
I shall His power adore
And sing the wonders of His grace
Forevermore.
3. There dwells the Lord our king,
The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height
His kingdom He maintains,
And, glorious with His saints in light,
Forever reigns.
4. The God who reigns on high
The great archangels sing,
And "Holy, holy, holy," cry,
"Almighty king!
Who was, and is, the same,
And evermore shall be:
Eternal Father, great I AM,
We worship thee."
5. The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry;
Hail, Abraham's God and mine!
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are thine,
And endless praise. Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
